Review: Les chiffres sont bien visibles et l'eclairage de nuit est très utile
Review: An excellent purchase for my senior husband. The numbers are clear and large. The watch face is uncluttered and it does light up in the dark. It is as promised.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: is this windup or battery powered**
A: battery powered

**Q: Is the indiglo light really bright?  Hubby would be wearing it at night and we don't want it keeping us awake.**
A: The Indiglo light cannot be seen in daylight. It is intended to be used at night or where it is dark. It does not illuminate until you purposely push the stem inward. Once you release it the light goes out.

**Q: how long is the watch band on this watch**
A: When not expanded it is approximately6 3/4 inches. The links can be removed with a bench knife as explained on several on line sources. At present I am leaving it as is although  the band  is a bit too long for my wrist. Homer Williamson

**Q: Rephrasing:  has anyone replaced this watch band?  Could you do it yourself or did it require a professional?**
A: Yes you can.  I replaced mind.  You should get yourself one of those watch band repair kits.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review
*by P***L on 10 January 2026*

It's a Timex. It wasn't as inexpensive as they used to be, but it works. In fact, I bought this same watch in the early 90s at a Target in the $10 +/- range. I could put it on a stand and read the dial from across the room. That watch outlasted several far more expensive watches and was never finicky. Swap the battery occasionally, avoid dropping it in the toilet, it was fine. So is this one. It got to the point that my "dressy" burnt nickel watch with matching face was impossible to read without enough light. It's called getting old. Anyway, this serves the daily use purpose. I can see it, don't have to worry about wasting a "good" watch and it's comfortable. I bought a couple of inexpensive leather bands in case I get tired of the stretchy links. Great, rugged all around watch when you need to know is what time it is. Does anybody really know? Well, maybe not, but this Timex does. Now - to address all the 1 stars regarding battery swap and bands - You know what kind of band you're getting, buy a different watch or band. If the band post breaks, get another one. If the battery dies it's $10 at Walmart for a swap. Do it yourself is all over YouTube. IF you can't get the back to seal, the "special tool" for non watchmakers is a pair of pliers and a thick wash cloth. Get a couple of folds between the crystal and the back and squeeze, because that "special tool" is no more than clamp head pliers with the head covered in rubber or silicone.
